Spratley teched Mejia from McKendree U. Great tournament because the other kid was dominant in his side of the bracket.
Witcraft with a pin at 1:06 of the match. That is 2 champs.
125 is loaded in the Big 12
OSU has a good one, should be interesting

This has been a highly encouraging Tournament. It appears OSU has quality depth at several weights.
At 141 Jamison got the takedown at the end of the 3rd period to win 4 to 1 over Alvarez.
Jamison is not going to give up his spot.
Jordan Williams must have wrestled his best match as a Cowboy and won 15 to 2. Lots of takedowns and I think 4 back points and riding time. Beat Carter Young.
Show us he’s got the talent!
Sam Smith wins 125 B black bracket with a major over Indian Hills, Manibog loses 4 to 2 against Steed.

Ojnik won by 1st period pin over bellarmine U for Championship.
Hughes won by 1st period tech fall to win 133 A Black bracket. A takedown and then lots of back points.
Blankenship won by 1st period pin to win 133 B Black bracket.
Plott and Surber win by 1st period pin. Surber pinned a Braunagel. Plott pinned Central Oklahoma.
Doucette beat Nitzil 4 to 1 for the HWT Championship. We won 8 weight classes.
Heeg won his bracket of 174 Black B, Caviness at 125 won by tech fall and won his bracket Black and Dax Hughes won his bracket at 174 8 to 2.
I feel best about Jordan Williams win. I was surprised by his domination over Carter Young. Surber Jamison and Doucette beat quality opponents in the finals also.
Not a ton of strong competition but I enjoyed this tally:
MD -20
TF -32
Fall -33
Really hope our mentality is more aggressive than it has been the last few years.

Dang Izzak is tall. Plott is looking built too.
Lot of information here. Thanks to all who kept us updated today! Did our dudes beat any ranked opponents?
Carter Young beat Cartella a freshman who is ranked 25 at 149. I am not aware of any other ranked wrestlers in this tournament. We dominated but we should have dominated. I will be interested if Carroll is okay and if some injury was involved in his 1st round loss. Dashboard did not seem to indicate injury of any kind and Carroll got his only takedown in the 3rd period. We need him to be a star next year, hopefully he improves a lot this year and hopefully there wasn't a serious injury.
Biggest thing for me was Jamison beating Alvarez and Williams handling Teague and Young.
Agree they dominated and should have - that hasn’t been a given the past handful of years.
It’s a minimum level expectation, and a good sign.
It also seems like there is some legitimate depth. They need everyone to perform up to their abilities and it will work out.

Awesome tournament for Jordan Williams. He showed up and won, with a very impressive win over Carter Young. Looking forward to seeing this young kid do great things!
A lot of encouraging results, especially the bonus point wins across the board by the whole team.
Jordan Williams was the headliner, but a few others...
Teague Travis beat Jesuroga & Cartella (by md). Cartella has wins over OU's McDougald & Iowa's Rathjen this season.
184 seems to be working well for Dustin Plott. He had 3 career pins coming into the year and now has 4 just this season.
Jersey Robb has been smashing guys this year. Probably should have wrestled in the gold division. The Southern Scuffle should be interesting when he faces tougher competition.

Robb is an intriguing prospect. He’s now solely focused on wrestling for the first time in his life. Great athlete. Expecting to see him make significant improvement over the course of this year.
We have solid backups at several weights it seems. Wittcradt/hughes at 133, Alvaraez or Jamison at 41, teague at 49, heeg/skidgel at 74, robb at 84, Haas at 97 and carroll at HWT. Maybe it’s not the case but it seems like it’s been awhile since we’ve had this much depth at that many weights.
I feel the same way about about Heeg also.
Both Heeg and Robb wrestled much bigger wrestlers since they wrestled 1 or 2 weight classes above what they are wrestling now. So they may be better prospects than was thought.
Robb wrestled at his football weight as a senior. Weighed in at 213.9 at the Ironman when he could have been as high as 217 with the allowance. So he was definitely on full feed.
Heeg looked undersized against Payton Thomas last season. But otherwise I thought his biggest issue was conditioning. After Mirasola beat Heeg in the 182 lb Fargo final, he said Max Askren told him beforehand that Heeg's gas tank was shaky. If that improves he could surprise. Reminds me of Crutchmer a little, very explosive.
